Man Accused of Really Liking Piggy Back Rides

Police in Bonney Lake, Wa. are warning high school students to watch out for a man who might have a developmental disability and a fixation with high school athletes and piggy back rides. On Monday a Bonney Lake High School football player was lured to the public library by the man, who'd said he would help the player with a college term paper interview. Instead of helping the student the man starting acting strangely, jumped on the student's back and asked for a piggy back ride. The football player left soon after when the man gave him a package that contained "odd amounts of money."

Odd amounts of money?

What, were all the bills wadded with a prime number of bills and seventeen cents taped to each wad?

I tried sing odd amount of money to pay my mortgage. Apparent imaginary numbers one count if you have an imaginary house.

I tried doing an electronic transfer for a negative amount, hoping it would credit the money back to my account. It didn't work. Apparently the credit union's web designers are not quite as stupid as I hoped they were.

Try to transfer $2,147,483,648

Sure it takes a leap of faith, but imagine if it works ^^

Prejudice afoot! What about leap frog? Why should we allow a preference for piggy back when leap frog can offer the same rewards!

This is technically incorrect... 2 is considered the first prime number, and there are $2 denomination bills. Also, 2 is not an odd number.

What's funny is how stupid the kid must have been to be fooled by the guy in the first place.

Kinda reinforces the stereotypes about dumb jocks.

Ugh, Stereotypes are fantastically ridiculous, especially in this case. I've met just as many imbeciles at LAN Parties and Comic Book shops, as I've met at boxing gyms and football events.

The only difference is what they focus on.

While your point is probably valid, I call shenanigans on your visits to boxing gyms, LAN parties and comic book stores. No self respecting jock would be caught dead at the latter two, just like no real geek would ever enter a boxing gym.

Come on, are we really still stuck on this image of a geek? I'm a self-professed geek who goes to LANs and comic book stores, plays GURPS and D20 RPGs, and I still lift weights and go for runs.

Maybe the guy lured him to the library by offering "to ride him" and the jock misinterpreted it, and though he was going to get some action instead?

Robert Crumb

Sounds like he shares the same kind of kink as the famous cartoonist, who was notorious for his piggy-back rides.

Resemblance

[treeves]

He looks a little like John Belushi.

More like Horatio Sanz.

Hey, I know that guy!

[horatiocain]

My girlfriend and I were wandering around Seattle in 2005, when he ran up and did his thing:

Haha, awesome. I can totally testify that he really really likes piggy back rides.

PIGGYBACK?? Pshaww!

[CODiNE]

Man a Piggyback ride is NOTHING compared to a Piggybelly ride.

Amateur.
